You too need to read the rest of what I wrote in that comment. If Catholic Hospitals want to run as fully private church institutions the government will happily leave them alone. The problem is they want the best of both worlds. As I said, tough luck and no sympathy for that nonsense. No it won't. Hospitals (except for the very rich) are not allowed to run as fully private institutions because the Feds already pay 50 cents of every medical dollar, and that's before Obamacare. And the Feds makes the rules. Until Obamacare, the Federal government kept to its tradition of allowing religious institutions freedom of conscience. But under Obamacare, the 1st amendment doesn't count anymore. So you're demanding that religious institutions that want to serve the needy must jettison their religious principles if the Feds say so.
